February 28, 2018 Board of Directors Salem Area Mass Transit District 555 Court St. NE, Suite 5230 Salem, OR 97301-3980 It is our pleasure to submit to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Salem Area Mass Transit District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Oregon Statutes require that the District publish, within six months of the close of each fiscal year (FY), a complete set of financial statements presented in conformance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. For FY 2017, the District received an extension for submission of these documents until February 28, 2018. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the District. Consequently, responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with management. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established an internal control structure designed to safeguard District assets against loss, theft, or misappropriation, and to ensure the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The internal control structure has been designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are being met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of the control structure should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of cost and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. We believe that the District's internal control structure adequately safeguards assets and provides reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is presented accurately, in all material respects, along with disclosures necessary to provide the reader with a reasonable understanding of the District's finances. This report was prepared in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and includes: A narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The District's MD&A can be found following the independent auditor's report on the basic financial statements, beginning on Page 4 of this report. Statement of Net Position, Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes for the District as a whole on the full accrual basis. i

Schedule of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget to Actual is presented as supplementary information. Grove, Mueller & Swank, P.C., a firm of licensed certified public accountants, audited the District's financial statements. The goal of this independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the District for the FY ended June 30, 2017, are free of material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the District's basic financial statements for the FY ended June 30, 2017, are fairly presented in all material respects in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented in the Financial Section of this report beginning on Page 1. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth above, the independent audit was also designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies as provided for in the Federal Single Audit Act and the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Super Circular 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, the Uniform Guidance. These standards require the independent government's internal controls to be established and maintained effectively and the District to be in compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and compliance with legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. The results of the independent audit for the FY ended June 30, 2017 indicated no significant violations of applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditor's reports, related specifically to the Single Audit and OMB Super Circular 2 CFR Part 200, the Uniform Guidance, are contained in a separate report. District Overview Cherriots, officially known as the Salem Area Mass Transit District (SAMTD) provides public transportation services to the Salem and Keizer communities, as well as to many communities throughout Oregon s mid-willamette Valley. SAMTD was established in 1979, under the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 267 that allowed for the formation of transit districts as special taxing entities. Prior to that time, Cherriots, the District s fixed route bus system, had been part of the City of Salem. The District has a memorandum of understanding with Marion and Polk counties to provide transit services to these two counties. SAMTD provides fixed route, paratransit, dial-a-ride, and regional services. District buses provide service over a 76-square mile area in Salem-Keizer and the mid- Willamette Valley. The population of the Cherriots service area is about 410,000. The District s mission is to connect people with places through safe, friendly, and reliable public transportation services. We do this though a variety of services throughout the region. In FY 2017, annual Cherriots ridership between all services was just under 3.2 million, averaging about 12,600 riders per day. Bus service operates with just under 60 peak vehicles and there are an additional 46 vehicles dedicated to providing Cherriots LIFT paratransit service. ii

In addition to fixed-route, SAMTD operates Cherriots Regional, Cherriots LIFT, and Cherriots Shop and Ride. Cherriots Regional routes provide express bus service to help riders travel between cities in Marion and Polk counties. Moreover, Cherriots provides an express commuter route to Wilsonville and the Polk County Flex, a dial-a-ride service in Dallas, Monmouth and Independence. Cherriots LIFT, a dial-a-ride paratransit service provided to people with disabilities, operates throughout the Salem-Keizer urban growth boundary. Riders must be found eligible to use Cherriots LIFT service in advance of scheduling a trip. Lastly, Cherriots Shop and Ride is a shopper shuttle and dial-a-ride service for seniors and people with disabilities. It operates throughout the Salem-Keizer urban growth boundary. There is no formal eligibility processes to use the service. SAMTD is governed by a Board of Directors whose seven members are elected from sub-districts to serve a four-year term. The Board sets policy, appropriates funds, adopts budgets and reviews contracts. The District is authorized to levy taxes and charge fares to pay for operations. Forty-five percent of general fund revenue comes from local property taxes. Twenty-one percent of the budget comes from funds received from the state. These are funds the state pays in-lieu of paying property taxes on tax exempt, state-owned property in the Salem area. Additionally, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill in 2018 that establishes a dedicated source of state funding to transit districts across Oregon through a payroll tax paid by employees. With additional funding, SAMTD will be able to restore Saturday service, which was eliminated in 2009 because of a budgetary reasons. For financial planning and control, the District prepares and adopts an annual budget in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes Chapters 294.305 through 294.565. The legally adopted budget is at the fund/division level for current expenditures, with separate appropriations established for the Division levels of General Manager/Board of Directors, Administration, Transportation Development, Operations, Communications, Unallocated General Administration, and internal transfers for each fund. Budgetary control is internally administered at a more restrictive level. Budget-to-actual comparisons for each individual fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted are provided as other supplementary information in this report. Local Economy The District is located within the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The Salem MSA, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of two counties in western Oregon, Marion and Polk. The principal city is Salem, which has a population of 167,419 according to 2016 U.S. Census Bureau estimate. In 2016 there are 418,139 people living in the Salem MSA compared with a population of 391,395 in the 2010 census. Marion and Polk counties are located south of the Portland metropolitan area in the center of the Willamette Valley. The District s boundaries are contiguous with the urban growth boundaries and include the City of Salem and the City of Keizer. The District also provides regional services to Marion and Polk counties and commuter services to Wilsonville. iii

Salem is the capital of Oregon and the county seat for Marion County. Salem is the third largest city and Keizer is the 13th largest city in Oregon. The major industries in the Salem MSA are agribusiness, health care, technology, government, and education. The seasonally adjusted unemployment in the Salem MSA in July 2017 was 4.7 percent, 0.9 percentage points lower than the July 2016 rate of 5.6 percent. According to the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis (OOEA), Salem is projected to significantly outperform the rest of the state when it comes to future labor force growth, based on demographics and population forecasts. Fixed Route Transportation Over 9.7 million passenger miles were traveled annually, with total ridership of 2,940,565 for FY 2017. This total ridership represents a decrease of 1.9 percent from FY 2016. For FY 2017 the operating costs per revenue mile for the fixed route service amounted to $9.68 compared to a cost of $9.98 for FY 2016 or (a 3.0 percent decrease), while the average cost per ride increased from $7.24 in FY 2016 to $7.96 for FY 2017 (a 9.9 percent increase). The increase in the cost per ride is due to an increase in operating costs, operating revenue hours and miles, and a drop in ridership. Alternative Transportation Ridership in the paratransit, non-emergency medical transportation, dial-a-ride, and shopper shuttle programs increased during FY 2017. The total rides provided in FY 2017 were 566,641 compared to 560,070 rides provided in FY 2016. The average cost of providing demand response rides in FY 2017 was $28.26 compared with $28.70 for FY 2016. This decrease in cost per ride is due to a decrease in the expenses to operate the programs. A small portion of the cost of providing these alternative transportation services is covered with fare revenue, 3.2 percent for FY 2017 compared with 2.4 percent for FY 2016. Funding from federal and state sources provided 97.7 percent of FY 2017 and 97.6 percent of FY 2016 program operating costs. Net program costs were covered by grant funding, eliminating the need for General Fund contributions for FY 2016 and 2017. Major Initiatives The District establishes an annual list of strategic priorities. For FY 2018, highlights of the strategic priorities include the selection of CAD/AVL technology to help improve the customer experience; defining the value of Service Excellence and establishing Team Cherriots expectations; investing in workforce development; and reestablishing the District sustainability committee. Future During FY 2018, the District secured a new sustainable revenue source that will allow for significant expansion beginning in FY 2020. The Oregon Legislature passed HB 2017, a statewide transportation bill that included a dedicated funding source for public transportation. As a result the District will be able to implement Phase II of its Moving Forward long-range service plan. Phase I was implemented in 2015 which included a reallocation of existing service levels to be iv

more effective and efficient. However, Phase II required a new revenue source which has now been achieved. Long-term Financial Planning The District s first priority is to ensure existing levels of service are maintained. Any additional service requires a new sustainable revenue source. The District also is identifying the best way to fund its capital improvement plan during the next 10 years now that there is a federal transportation bill. The District also plans to identify the best use of excess one-time funds that are in excess of our necessary working capital. Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the FY ended June 30, 2016. This was the fifth year that the District received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The timely preparation of the CAFR was made possible by the efforts of the entire staff of the Finance Department. The Finance Department appreciates and thanks the staff who assisted and contributed to the report's presentation. They also thank the Board of Directors and the General Manager for their interest and support in managing the financial operations of the District in a responsible and progressive manner.

475 Cottage Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, Oregon 97301 (503) 581-7788 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT Board of Directors Salem Area Mass Transit Salem, Oregon Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the statements of net position, statements of revenue, expenses and changes in net position, and cash flows of Salem Area Mass Transit (the District) as of and for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the District s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 1

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of Salem Area Mass Transit District, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the respective changes in financial position, and cash flows thereof for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management s discussion and analysis (MD&A), schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios non-bargaining, schedule of employer contributions defined benefit plan non-bargaining, schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios bargaining, schedule of employer contributions defined benefit plan - bargaining, and schedule of OPEB funding progress, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the MD&A and other schedules described above in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District s basic financial statements. The other supplementary information, introductory section and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The other supplementary information is the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the other supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. Other Reporting Required by Legal and Regulatory Requirements Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 26, 2018, on our consideration of the District s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.

Salem Area Mass Transit District s Management s Discussion and Analysis The management of Salem Area Mass Transit District (District) presents this narrative overview and analysis to facilitate both a short-term and long-term analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. This Management s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is based on facts, decisions, and conditions that existed as of the date of the independent auditor s report. Overview of the Financial Statements The District s financial statements consist of a statement of net position, a statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, and a statement of cash flows. They have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned, and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, regardless of the related cash flows. Financial Highlights In fiscal year (FY) 2015, The District adopted GASB Statements No. 68 and 71. These statements established new accounting and reporting rules related to pension plans that, most notably, include presenting the net pension liability and deferred inflows and outflows related to pensions on the statement of net position. There are also a number of changes to the notes to the financial statements and required supplementary information. Implementation of these statements required the restatement of FY 2015 financial statements. The District's total assets decreased in FY 2017 from $63.8 million to $61.7 million, due to a decrease in state grants receivables. The District's total assets increased in FY 2016 from $60.5 million to $63.8 million, due to an increase in federal grants receivables. The District s deferred outflows decreased in FY 2017 by approximately $263,000 but the District s deferred outflows increased in FY 2016 by approximately $3.3 million. These changes are due to actuarial assumption changes and other activities in the District s retirement plans. For comparison purposes, deferred outflows and inflows from pension investments for both fiscal years were netted. The District s total liabilities decreased in FY 2017 by $1.3 million, due mostly to a decrease in the net pension liability and unearned revenue. The District s total liabilities increased in FY 2016 by $3.8 million, due mostly to an increase in the net pension liability. In FY 2017, the District s total net position decreased by $1.1 million. The investment in capital assets decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 4.5 percent mainly due to the yearly depreciation and the unrestricted net position increased by approximately $695,000. In FY 2016, the District s total net position increased by $2.5 million. The investment in capital assets decreased by approximately $1.1 million mainly due to the yearly depreciation and the unrestricted net position increased by approximately $3.1 million. 4

In FY 2017, operating revenue increased approximately $485,000 from $5.7 million to $6.2 million, or 8.5 percent, from the prior year. This increase was due to an increase in the passenger fares. Non-operating revenues, including capital contributions, decreased approximately $3.2 million from the prior year. This decrease is due to a decrease in non-operating revenues from federal grants and state programs. Operating expenses increased more than $1.9 million from the prior year. The majority of the increase is from an increase in personnel service expense, related to pensions, due to the change in assumptions related to GASB Statements No. 68 and 71. In FY 2016, operating revenue decreased more than $400,000 from $6.1 million to $5.7 million, or 6.6 percent, from the prior year. This decrease was due to a decrease in the Non-Emergent Medical Transportation (DMAP/WVCH) program and in passenger fares. Non-operating revenues, including capital contributions, increased approximately $377,000 from the prior year. This increase is due to an increase in non-operating revenues from property taxes, and capital contributions. Operating expenses increased more than $1.6 million from the prior year. The increase is an increase in personnel service expense, related to pensions, due to the implementation of GASB Statements No. 68 and 71. The District had no transfers in FY 2017 or FY 2016.

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the Salem Area Mass Transit District (District) have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applied to government units in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the District s accounting policies are described below. A. Financial Reporting Entity Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the reporting entity include the primary government, all organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable and other organizations that, by the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government, would cause the financial statements to be incomplete or misleading if excluded. Based on these criteria, the District is considered a primary government and does not have any component unit relationships. Conversely, the District is not considered a component unit of any primary government. B. Organization and Operation The District was organized under the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 267 to provide mass transit services to the Salem/Marion County area. Formation of the District was effective in 1979. Under ORS 267, the District is authorized to levy taxes and charge fares to pay for the operations of the District. The District is also authorized to issue general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. The District is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Directors. Board members represent and must live in certain geographical sub-districts. The Board of Directors sets District policy, levies taxes, appropriates funds, adopts budgets, and performs other duties required by state and federal law. C. Basis of Accounting and Revenue Recognition The District is reported as a single proprietary unit. Proprietary reporting is used to account for operations and activities that are similar to those found in the private sector. The financial statements have been prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Operating revenues consist primarily of passenger fares and funds received for special transportation. Operating expenses include the costs of operating the District, including 12

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and available to meet current obligations. Cash received before services are rendered is considered unearned. Expenses are recognized when they are incurred. The District applies a flow of economic resources measurement focus, whereby all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of the District are included on the Statement of Net Position. Ad valorem property taxes are levied and become a lien on all taxable property as of July 1. Property taxes are payable on November 15. Collection dates are November 15, February 15, and May 15. Discounts are allowed if the amount due is received by November 15. Taxes unpaid and outstanding on May 16 are considered delinquent. Uncollected taxes are deemed to be substantially collectible or recoverable through liens; therefore, no allowance for uncollectible taxes has been established. Federal and state grant contributions for capital acquisitions are recorded as capital contributions and are included in net income when earned. Non-capital federal and state grant revenue are recorded as non-operating revenue when earned. D. Restricted Assets Restricted assets consist of assets restricted for federal capital grant programs and State of Oregon special transportation programs. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District s policy to use restricted resources first and then unrestricted resources as they are needed. E. Cash and Investments ORS 294.035 authorizes the District to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and agencies, time certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements, certain types of corporate bonds, and the State of Oregon Local Government Investment Pool. Such investments are stated at cost. The investments are increased by accretion of discounts and reduced by amortization of premiums, which are computed by the straightline method and approximates fair market value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which an investment could be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the District considers cash and equivalents to include all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. F. Inventories Inventories of fuel, lubricants, parts, and supplies are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the average cost method. 13

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 G. Prepaid Expenses Payments to vendors reflecting costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid expenses. H. Capital Assets Capital assets are stated at cost, except for donated capital assets, which are stated at the fair market value on the date of donation. Expenditures for additions and improvements with a value in excess of $5,000 and a useful life of more than one year are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Upon disposal of capital assets, the accounts are relieved of the related costs and accumulated depreciation, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. Capital assets, excluding land and construction in progress, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is an accounting process to allocate the cost of capital assets to expense in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of capital assets. Depreciation is not intended to represent an estimate in the decline of fair market value, nor are capital assets net of accumulated depreciation, intended to represent an estimate of the current condition, of the assets or the maintenance requirements needed to maintain the assets at their current level of condition. Asset Years Buildings, Shelters, Stations 10 50 Revenue Rolling Stock 5 12 Equipment 3 10 Monthly depreciation is taken in the year the assets are acquired or retired. Gains or losses from sales or retirements of capital assets are included in operations of the current period. I. Vacation and Sick Pay Vacation pay is vested when earned. Employees earn annual leave based on length of service to the District. Unpaid vested vacation is shown as vested compensated absences on the Statement of Net Position and recorded as an expense when earned. Sick pay is accrued on a bi-weekly basis. Payouts are either 50 percent or 20 percent of the balance depending on the accrued hours and length of service. Sick pay is recorded as a liability on the statement of net position and an expense as accrued. 14

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 J. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Net Position Net position comprises the various net earnings from operations, non-operating revenues, expenses and contributions of capital. Net position is classified in the following three categories. Investment in capital assets consists of all capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that is attributable to the acquisition, construction and improvement of those assets, if any. Restricted consists of external constraints placed on net position use by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted consists of all other net position that is not included in the other categories previously mentioned. L. Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. M. New Pronouncements During FY 2017 the District implemented the following GASB pronouncements: GASB Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures, establishes disclose requirements for tax abatement agreements. See footnote 7 for the new disclosure. 15

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 During FY 2016 the District implemented the following GASB pronouncements: GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. This statement provides guidance for determining fair value measurements for financial reporting purposes. The District has determined that this statement has no significant impact on the District s financial statements. GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments, supersedes Statement No. 55, reducing the GAAP hierarchy to two categories of authoritative GAAP and addressing the use of non-authoritative literature. The District has determined that this statement has no significant impact on the District s financial statements. (1) Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability For budgeting purposes, the District consists of a general fund, capital improvement fund, and transportation programs fund. This is in conformity with Oregon Budget Law. Budgetary basis revenues and expenditures are recognized on the modified accrual basis. The treatment of capital expenditures is the principal difference between the budgetary basis and the accrual basis. Capital expenditures on a budgetary basis are recorded as current expenditures. Financial operations of the District are accounted for in the following budgetary funds: General Fund The fund accounts for all financial resources and expenditures related to the District s general operations, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The principal revenue sources are property taxes, state payroll assessments, passenger fares and federal operating assistance. Capital Improvement Fund This fund accounts for major capital acquisitions and projects. The principal revenue sources are capital grants from the Federal Transit Administration and transfers from the General Fund. Special Transportation Fund This fund accounts for expenditures related to transportation service to special public groups. The fund s principal sources of revenue are Federal grants and reimbursements, State special transportation formula grants and transfers from the General Fund. The General Manager submits a proposed operating and capital budget to the Budget Committee a sufficient length of time in advance to allow adoption of the budget prior to July 16

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 1. The operating and capital budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. The District legally adopts its annual budget prior to July 1 through passage of a resolution. The resolution authorizes appropriations by fund and at broad classification levels for the Divisions of General Manager/Board of Directors, Administration, Transportation Development, Operations, Unallocated General Administration, and contingency. Expenditures cannot legally exceed appropriations at these control levels. Appropriations that have not been spent at year-end expire. The Board of Directors, by resolution, may amend the budget as originally adopted. One amendment totaling approximately $80,000 was made to the budget during the year ended June 30, 2017. The General fund had over-expenditures for operations in the amount of $241,055. The Special Projects Transportation fund had over-expenditures for transportation development of $64,233. (2) Cash and Cash Equivalents The District maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds, except for restricted cash and investments. At June 30, 2017 and 2016 the carrying value of cash and investments and fair value are approximately equal. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash and investments included in cash and cash equivalents consisted of: 2017 2016 Cash Cash on hand $ 7,371 $ 17,126 Deposits with financial institutions 857,247 1,883,920 Investments Local government investment pool 18,564,217 11,891,498 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 19,428,835 $ 13,792,544 Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents $ 15,089,318 $ 10,302,164 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 4,339,517 3,490,380 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 19,428,835 $ 13,792,544 17

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 A. Deposits As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the book balance of the District s bank deposits (checking accounts) was $857,247 and $1,883,920 and the bank balance was $2,128,434 and $2,243,885 respectively. The difference is due to transactions in process. B. Custodial Risk Deposits This is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District s deposits may not be returned. Effective July 1, 2008, the State of Oregon formed the Oregon Public Funds Collateralization Program under ORS 295. The collateralization program creates a statewide pool of qualified bank depositories for local governments, providing collateralization for bank balances that exceed the limits of federal depository insurance, and eliminating the need for certificates of participation. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, none of the District s bank balances were exposed to credit risk. C. Investments The State Treasurer of the State of Oregon maintains the Oregon Short-term Fund, of which the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is part. Participation by local governments is voluntary. The State of Oregon investment policies are governed by statute and the Oregon Investment Council. In accordance with Oregon Statutes, the investment funds are invested as a prudent investor would do, exercising reasonable care, skill and caution. The Oregon Short-term Fund is the LGIP for local governments and was established by the State Treasurer. It was created to meet the financial and administrative responsibilities of federal arbitrage regulations. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of the District s position in the LGIP was approximately equal to the value of the pool shares. The investment in the Oregon Shortterm Fund is not subject to risk evaluation. Separate financial statements for the Oregon Short-term Fund are available from the Oregon State Treasurer. D. Interest Rate Risk - Investments In accordance with its investment policy, the District manages its exposure to declines in fair value of its investments by limiting the maximum maturity of its investments to one year or less. E. Custodial Risk - Investments For an investment, there is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateralized securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Currently the District s investments are limited to the LGIP. 18

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 F. Credit Risk - Investments The LGIP is administered by the Oregon State Treasury with the advice of other state agencies and is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The LGIP is an open-ended, no-load, diversified portfolio offered to any agency, political subdivision, or public corporation of the state that by law is made the custodian of, or has control of any fund. The LGIP is commingled with the State's short-term funds. In seeking to best serve local governments of Oregon, the Oregon Legislature established the Oregon Short-term Fund Board, which has established diversification percentages and specifies the types and maturities of the investments. The purpose of the Board is to advise the Oregon State Treasury in the management and investment of the LGIP. These investments within the LGIP must be invested and managed as a prudent investor would, exercising reasonable care, skill and caution. Professional standards indicate that the investments in external investment pools are not subject to custodial risk because they are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or book entry form. Nevertheless, management does not believe that there is any substantial custodial risk related to investments in the LGIP. The LGIP is not rated for credit risk. 19

(5) Employee Retirement Plans The District provides retirement benefits to its employees through two defined benefit plans, a defined contribution plan and a deferred compensation plan. A. Defined Benefit Plans The District contributes to two single-employer defined benefit pension plans. The Salem Area Mass Transit Non-bargaining plan (Non-bargaining) covers all nonunion employees. The Salem Area Mass Transit-Bargaining plan (Bargaining) covers all union employees. Each plan s assets are held in trust, independent of the District, and solely for the purpose of paying each plan s benefits and administrative expenses. The assets are invested in a variety of stocks, bonds, and other securities. Neither plan includes in its assets, any District securities or securities of any related parties. No loans have been granted to the District from plan funds. 22

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 Plan Description In a defined benefit plan, benefits are determined using benefit formulas which take into account actuarial information. The plans were effective January 1, 2002 and are administered by Pioneer Trust. No separate financial statements are available for these plans. The District s Board of Directors holds the authority for establishing and amending plan benefits and funding policies for both defined benefit plans. Benefits Provided The defined benefit plans provide pension benefits to eligible full-time bargaining and nonbargaining employees. Regular career status employees who have successfully completed the probationary period of six months or 1,000 hours of service, whichever is later, are eligible to participate. The District makes all contributions to the plan. The District s contributions for each employee (and investment earnings allocated to the employee s account) are fully vested after five years of service. District contributions for, and investment earnings forfeited by, employees who leave employment before five years of service, are used to reduce the District s contribution requirements. The benefit payable at a participant s normal retirement date will be equal to the excess of 1.64 percent times the participant's final average salary times the participant s benefit credits for the non-bargaining employees or 1.64 percent for the bargaining unit employees over the amount which is the actuarial equivalent of the participant s account balance in the plan as of termination of employment. Non-Bargaining Plan Employees Covered by Benefit Terms The following employees were covered by the benefit terms as of the most recent actuarial valuation: Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 35 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 8 Active employees 53 96 Contributions The District is in the process of establishing a formal funding policy with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to establish or amend such policies. Currently, the District s contribution rates are actuarially determined and approved and implemented by executive staff. Contributions to the plan are made quarterly according to an actuarially determined rate recommended by an independent actuary. This rate is intended to finance the cost of current benefits earned, plus an amount to finance the unfunded accrued liability. This rate, expressed as a percentage of covered payroll was, 16.14 percent and 13.71 percent for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 23

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 The District makes additional level dollar contribution to further reduce the unfunded accrued liability. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, that amount was $53,988 and $86,593 respectively. Net Pension Liability The District s net pension liability for the bargaining plan at June 30, 2017, was measured as of that date, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015. The District s net pension liability for the non-bargaining plan at June 30, 2017 was measured as of that date, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The total pension liability in the July 1, 2015, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation rate: 2.75% Salary increases: 4.25% for first 5 years of service; 3.25% thereafter Investment rate of return: 6.50% Mortality: RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table projected to 2020 per Scale AA The non-bargaining plan recently adopted a change to the pre-retirement death benefit which was included in the July 1, 2015 valuation. The pre-retirement death benefit was changed from 50% of the participant s accrued benefit to the survivor benefit payable under 100% Joint and Survivor annuity option as if elected on the participant s date of death. The total pension liability in the July 1, 2015, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation rate: 2.75% Salary increases: 4.25% for first 5 years of service; 3.25% thereafter Investment rate of return: 6.50% Mortality: RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table projected to 2020 per Scale AA 24

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 The non-bargaining pension plan does not provide for automatic, post-retirement benefit increases. No ad hoc increases have been adopted. The best-estimate range for the long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and correlation. The capital market assumptions are per Milliman s investment consulting practice as of January 1, 2017: Target Allocation Long- Term Expected Arithmetic Real Rate of Return Asset Class Cash 2.70% 0.10% Core Fixed Income 37.80% 1.72% Non-U.S. Fixed Income 9.50% 0.02% Large Cap US Equities 18.00% 4.41% Mid Cap U.S. Equities 6.00% 4.85% Small Cap U.S. Equities 4.00% 5.55% Developed Foreign Equities 16.20% 5.37% Small Cap Foreign Equities 3.00% 5.83% Emerging Market Equities 2.80% 7.74% 100.00% Long-Term Expected Rate of Return 6.00% Rate of Return For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 11.47 percent and -2.18 percent. The money-weighted return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested. Discount rate The discount rate is used to measure the total pension liability. The discount rate was 6.00 percent and 6.50 percent for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the current contribution rate. The actuarially determined contribution rate is based on a closed amortization period, which means that payment of the actuarially determined contribution each year will bring the plan to a 100% funded position by the end of the amortization period. Plan assets are assumed to earn the assumed rate of return and there are no future changes in the plan provisions or actuarial methods and assumptions. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan s fiduciary net 25

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments to current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 The bargaining pension plan does not provide for automatic, post-retirement benefit increases. No ad hoc increases have ever been adopted. The best-estimate range for the long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and correlation. The capital market assumptions are per Milliman s investment consulting practice as of January 1, 2017: Target Allocation Long- Term Expected Arithmetic Real Rate of Return Asset Class Cash 2.70% 0.10% Core Fixed Income 37.80% 1.72% Non-U.S. Fixed Income 9.50% 0.02% Large Cap US Equities 18.00% 4.41% Mid Cap U.S. Equities 6.00% 4.85% Small Cap U.S. Equities 4.00% 5.55% Developed Foreign Equities 16.20% 5.37% Small Cap Foreign Equities 3.00% 5.83% Emerging Market Equities 2.80% 7.74% 100.00% Long-Term Expected Rate of Return 6.00% Rate of Return For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 11.46 percent and -2.14 percent.

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 Amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: B. Defined Contribution Plan Plan Description The District provides pension benefits through a defined contribution pension plan. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. The plan is administered by ICMA. The District s Board of Directors holds the authority for establishing and amending plan provisions and contribution requirements for the defined contribution plan. Benefits Provided The defined contribution plan provides pension benefits to eligible full-time nonbargaining employees. Regular career status employees who have successfully completed the probationary period of six months or 1,000 hours of service, whichever is later, are eligible to participate. Contributions The District makes all contributions to the plan. The District s contributions for each employee (and investment earnings allocated to the employee s account) are fully vested after five years of service. District contributions for, and investment earnings forfeited by, employees who leave employment before five years of service, are used to reduce the District s contribution requirements. The contribution rate is 10 percent of employee s gross salary for non-bargaining unit employees. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, employer contributions recognized as expense were $414,434 and $381,925, respectively. (6) Post Employment Benefits Other than Pensions A. Plan Description Year ended June 30: 2018 $ 581,963 2019 703,772 2020 562,485 2021 66,710 2022 41,792 Thereafter - The District administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan per the requirements of collective bargaining agreements. The plan provides an explicit employer benefit of up to the cost per month per pre-medicare retiree toward postretirement healthcare insurance for eligible retirees, and at cost for retiree spouses, through the District s group health insurance plans, which cover both active and retired participants. 32

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 The level of benefits provided by the plan are the same as those afforded to active employees. This level of coverage is provided to retirees until they become eligible for Medicare, typically age 65. The District s post-retirement healthcare plan was established in accordance with ORS 243.303. ORS stipulate that for the purpose of establishing healthcare premiums, the rate must be based on all plan members, including both active employees and retirees and their spouses. The difference between retiree claim costs (which because of the effect of age is generally higher in comparison to all plan members) and the amount of retiree healthcare premiums represents the District s implicit employer contribution. The District has not established a trust fund to supplement the costs for the net other postemployment benefit (OPEB) obligation. No standalone financial report is generated for the plan. B. Funding Policy The District collects insurance premiums, net of applied explicit benefits, from all retirees each month. The District then pays health insurance premiums for all retirees at the blended rate for each family classification. The required contribution to the plan included the employer s pay-as-you-go amount, an amount paid by retirees and an additional amount calculated to prefund future benefits as determined by the actuary. The District has elected to not pre-fund the actuarially determined future cost. The amount paid by the District for retirees, and eligible retiree spouses, healthcare for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $121,369 and $119,861 respectively. C. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The District s annual OPEB cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the guidelines of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the District s annual OPEB cost for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the District s net OPEB obligation: 2017 2016 2015 Annual required contribution $ 580,506 $ 553,451 $ 541,272 Interest earned on net OPEB obligation 94,818 87,667 79,976 Adjustment to the annual required contribution (193,330) (178,750) (163,067) Annual OPEB cost 481,994 462,368 458,181 Estimated benefit payments 288,538 258,073 238,432 Increase in Net OPEB obligation 193,456 204,295 219,749 Beginning net OPEB obligation 2,709,074 2,504,779 2,285,030 Ending net OPEB obligation $ 2,902,530 $ 2,709,074 $ 2,504,779 33

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 The District s percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan for fiscal years ending June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was 60 percent, 56 percent, and 52 percent, respectively. D. Funding Status Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and the new estimates are made about the future. The funded status of the plan at June 30, 2017, based on the July 1, 2015 actuarial valuation is as follows: Actuarial value of assets $ - Actuarial accrued liability 4,005,778 Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) 4,005,778 Funded ratio 0% Covered payroll 10,461,751 UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 38% The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits. E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of shortterm volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The July 1, 2015 actuarial valuation used the projected unit credit cost method, an assumed 3.5 percent rate of return. The discount rate is selected based on the expected long-term annual investment returns for Oregon s Local Government Investment Pool and comparable investment vehicles. The assumed health care costs will increase 4.2 percent in the first year based on the known July 1, 2016 premium rates. Assumed cost increases in healthcare cost are shown in the table below. Increases after 2060 are assumed to slowly decline to an ultimate rate of 4.6 percent per year. The table below considers the impact of 34

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the well-defined aspects of the Affordable Care Act (including an excise tax schedule to apply to high-cost plans beginning in 2020): The general inflation rate is assumed to be 2.75 percent per year. Retirement and withdrawal rates are the same as those used by the District in the actuarial valuations of retirement benefits. The unfunded actuarially accrued liability is amortized as a level percent of payroll over 15 years on a rolling basis.

The District purchases commercial insurance to minimize its exposure to these risks. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the past three years. (9) Reclassification Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current-year financial statements. 35

Salem Area Mass Transit District Notes to the Basic Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (10) Commitments and Contingencies Under the terms of federal and state grants, periodic audits are required and costs may be questioned as not being appropriate under the terms of the grants. Such audits could lead to reimbursement to the grantor agencies. District management believes disallowance, if any, will be immaterial. As of June 30, 2016, the District had a commitment of approximately $83,770 for architectural work related to the South Salem Transit Center. No such commitment existed at June 30, 2017. 36

Real market value and assessed value were required to be equal by state law prior to fiscal year 1998. In May 1997, voters approved ballot Measure 50 which reduced assessed values to 90% of 1995 real market values and limits the annual increase in assessed values to 3%. 57

475 Cottage Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, Oregon 97301 (503) 581-7788 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT REQUIRED BY OREGON STATE REGULATIONS Board of Directors Salem Area Mass District Salem, Oregon We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the basic financial statements of Salem Area Mass Transit District (the District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 2018. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, including the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes as specified in Oregon Administrative Rules 162-10-000 through 162-10-320 of the Minimum Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We performed procedures to the extent we considered necessary to address the required comments and disclosures which included, but were not limited to the following: Deposit of public funds with financial institutions (ORS Chapter 295). Budgets legally required (ORS Chapter 294). Insurance and fidelity bonds in force or required by law. Programs funded from outside sources. Authorized investment of surplus funds (ORS Chapter 294). Public contracts and purchasing (ORS Chapters 279A, 279B, 279C). In connection with our testing nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe the District was not in substantial compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants, including the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes as specified in Oregon Administrative Rules 162-10-000 through 162-10-320 of the Minimum Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations, except for overexpenditures as noted in the notes to the financial statements. 66

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District s internal control over financial reporting to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control. A letter containing deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting has been separately issued in the federal compliance report. Restriction on Use This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of directors and management of the District and the Oregon Secretary of State and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these parties.

SALEM AREA MASS TRANSIT DISTRICT Federal Compliance Report For the year ended June 30, 2017 Marion County, Oregon

475 Cottage Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, Oregon 97301 (503) 581-7788 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Board of Directors Salem Area Mass Transit District Salem, Oregon We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Salem Area Mass Transit District (the District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 26, 2018. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. We did identify certain deficiencies in internal control, described at 2017-001 in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs that we consider to be a material weakness. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. - 1 -

Salem Area Mass Transit s Response to the Finding The District s response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The District s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS February 26, 2018-2 -

475 Cottage Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, Oregon 97301 (503) 581-7788 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM; REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE Board of Directors Salem Area Mass Transit District Salem, Oregon Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program We have audited Salem Area Mass Transit s (the District) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the District s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2017. The District s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management s Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the District s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the District s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the District s compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, Salem Area Mass Transit District complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2017. Report on Internal Control over Compliance Management of the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the District s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could - 3 -
